Many perceive the design of a sports field or facility to be simple, however there are several decisions to be made, that impact the quality, usability, performance, aesthetics, environment, or a sense of place. Landscape Architects are uniquely qualified to design such facilities because it’s not only the field that makes a venue great, but it’s everything else around the field that can make the venue notable. While designing a sports facility, Landscape Architects are looking at the bigger picture of how all the sport specific components will work with the needs of the athletes, visitors, maintenance personnel, facilities operations staff, as well as the site topography, existing circulation patterns, and utility connections. There are sport specific needs that can be less visually appealing or impede pedestrian or vehicular circulation. However, with a little thought, these elements can gently slip into the landscape, while remaining completely functional. Take a look at some of these sports facilities where it’s more than just a field. #thisislandscapearchitecture #landscapearchitecture #sportsengineering #sportsengineers #lloyd #lloydsports #lloydsportsandengineering #lloydengineers #LAM2023 #LAM #landscapearchitecturemonth #projecthighlight #sportsfacilities #athletes #pedestrians #circulation #aesthetics #senseofplace #venues #morethanjustafield Lloyd is in full design mode for Marysville High School Track and Field. The project will replace the existing decomposed granite track with a new all-weather 8 lane track and upgrade the natural grass field. Scheduled for completion in fall 2023 the new facility will be able to host larger track meets and sports events. #lloyd #lloydsports #lloydengineers #sportsengineering #sportsengineers #highschools #marysville #lindhurst #MJUSD #marysvillehighschool #naturalgrass #trackandfield #design #landscapearchitecture #engineering Our team is currently working with Orcutt Winslow and the Maricopa USD #20 on Desert Sunrise High School in Maricopa, AZ. Team member Justin Peterson took these beautiful sunrise photos last week while string lining the baseball fields out on site. The future school campus at Murphy and Farrell Roads will be a valuable addition to the District and the local community once open. #Maricopa #CityofMaricopa #MaricopaUnifiedSchoolDistrict20 #MaricopaUSD #MUSD20 #OrcuttWinslow #K12Schools #ArizonaSchools #Lloyd #lloydsports #lloydsportsandengineering #lloydengineers #sportsengineering #sportsengineers #highschools #athleticfields #stadium #arizona #maricopaAZ #stringline #baseball #construction
The University of Nevada – Reno began a complete overhaul to Hixson Softball Complex with the conversion of their softball field to synthetic turf. This field renovation success is a direct result of the collaborative partnership between Lloyd, JK Architecture Engineering, and University of Nevada – Reno. The project comes as the first phase of the renovation, with a new fieldhouse, press box, bleachers, and concessions planned in the near future. |
